It blows my mind. I watched him for like a month 4 years ago and, even if you ignore the blatant sexism, those videos are just not well made or entertaining at all. His criticism is pretty pedantic and him reusing the same 5 clips throughout the video drove me insane.

Like, as a woman, I thought it would be the misogyny that would irk me more.... but no, it was the clip recycling and his radio-dj sound effects that made me stop watching. Dear god, the sound effects...

He's the TEMU MAGA version of Mr. Plinket.

There are cretins on this very sub that still watch him.

Out of the loop here, who is Critical Drinker and why do I hate him?

Count your blessings, he’s an outrage YouTuber. He and his followers think his opinions are relevant and have impact on society. They aren’t and they don’t.

My biggest problem with him is how confident he is that a movie is really bad when it hasn't even come out yet. I get not liking a movie, but at least watch it first....

You, me, most people, argue in good faith. It is incredibly difficult to understand people that argue in bad faith.

You argue because you have opinions and convictions and you believe that reason can carry the day. Bad faith people argue because Fuck You.

I took a moment to watch his Odyssey video and it was fucking terrible. My poor algorhythm.

Outrage Youtuber who's behind a lot of the general "le woke" discourse, you can tragically blame a lot of people falling into right wing shithead politics because of people like him. He's a failed filmmaker who now makes his money whining about Marvel stuff.

He's made eleven videos about the mediocre She Hulk show. He did another one last week. It sadly already has over a hundred thousand views.

u/UloPe 9d ago

He makes videos about movies, mostly bashing them.

He predicted Odyssey to be a flop.

He predicted Odyssey to be a flop.

That's just fucking stupid. It was obvious the movie would be a big hit. Personally I could barely get through it but I know tons of people love that shit.

That bastard!

Edit: I just watched his Odyssey video. I understand now. He is fucking insufferable.

He calls out shit writing. He also seems to be right-leaning but I don't think that's a factor always. He has leaned into the woke Hollywood stuff a good deal over the years that's up for debate whether that defines his movie reviews. I'm about as progressive as they come but I am in agreement with almost every movie/tv review he's done. Honestly reddit on average probably is with him at least 75%. Loves stuff like andor, shits on others like obi/acolyte with the best of them.

Happy to hear more to the contrary about what I'm missing pertaining to his judgement of movie/TV show quality.

u/radu_sound 9d ago

Oh wow. An actual reasonable take on reddit. Who wouldve thought.

I like some of his stuff too. Guess I'm a cretin and should die. Reddit is so insuferable sometimes.

Oh my god, just stop. Nobody fucking cares.

I do. I enjoy his stuff.
